Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.

Pre-requisites and Co-requisites

In this course you will learn to apply your skills and knowledge to select raw materials, for use in the production of textile samples. You will also learn to apply judgement and discretion when selecting raw materials for use in textile products and/or textile samples and will identify and document selected materials based on the proposed end use. You will use textile specifications to help guide your choices and you will learn to document and record your selections against the relevant quality standards.

This course consists of 2 Units of Competency that are clustered together for delivery and assessment. The other unit of Competency in this clustered course is:

MSTTD4010 Apply manipulation techniques to create experimental textile samples.

You should refer to the assessment brief which is available on myRMIT for full assessment criteria

  Observation Checklist 1: Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements. Due                   week 3

 

   Task 1 Resource Folio of Samples: (Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory)

Evidence of samples completed during the semester. Refer to Experimental Workbook for details of different techniques and processes covered. All samples should be clearly labelled with description of materials and techniques used. Also include class handouts and any relevant research. Due week 15

Task 2 Deconstruct/ Recreate   (Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory)

This is a project where you will research and source two (2) existing materials to be recycled / up cycled / reused and created into a new product /design system / new textile. You are required to apply three (3) of the techniques used in class to create a 2D and 3D effect using the selected materials. Due week 8

Task 3   Wearable Piece   (Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory)

The aim of this project is to enable you to design 2 wearable pieces inspired by your selected theme and complete a final reflection on the outcome. You will need to effectively select a range of appropriate raw materials and use three (3) techniques to create 2 wearable pieces. One piece should be 2D and the other one is to be 3D. Due week 15

Credit transfer is the recognition of previously completed formal learning (an officially accredited qualification).

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows you to demonstrate competence using the skills you have gained through experience in the workplace, voluntary work, informal or formal training or other life experiences.

Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) RCC applies only if you have previously successfully demonstrated competence in a unit of competency, and now require to be reassessed to ensure that the competence is being maintained.

Please speak to your teacher if you wish to discuss applying for Credit Transfer, RPL, or RCC for the unit(s) of competency addressed in this course. https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/enrolment/apply-for-credit
